In this riveting episode of NEVER TOO SMALL, the team embarks on a carpentry adventure like no other. Inspired by the iconic Haussmannian apartments and the genius of Alvar Aalto, they set out to transform a Parisian flat into a masterpiece. Located in the historic 7th arrondissement, this flat exudes elegance and functionality in equal measure. From the spacious kitchen to the cozy living room, every detail is meticulously crafted to perfection.
The use of glass and steel partitions adds a modern touch, while custom furniture pieces maximize storage and style. The entrance sets the tone with hooks for coats and a separate toilet for guests. French windows flood the living space with light, complemented by a custom bookshelf and hidden storage solutions. Dark and light colors play harmoniously, with wooden posts adding a unique flair to the design.
The kitchen, hidden behind a bespoke bifold door, features integrated appliances and a stunning granite countertop. The dining area boasts a custom bench and a clever connection to the kitchen inspired by Alvar Aalto. French doors lead to a charming balcony, extending the living space outdoors. The bedroom is a cozy retreat, with a steel and glass partition adding a touch of sophistication. A hotel-like ensuite bathroom completes the picture, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency. The team's attention to detail and dedication to maximizing space truly shine in this remarkable transformation.
